2020 | Mark Ryan Dead Horse Cabernet Sauvignon | Red Mountain Upper Loire and hints of clovesLeading off the flagship releases from this terrific estate, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Dead Horse is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, and splashes of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It's closed aromatically yet has attractive red and black fruits, some spicy, mineral notes, medium to full body, and ripe, supple tannins. I like its balance, and I suspect it will benefit from 2 4 years of bottle age. 93 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
